Chapter 457

2014-08-16

The cold and bleak autumn wind, the white and gray mottled sky. Square lattice buildings, tangled and complicated streets, people like ants moving in the morning mist, and sometimes galloping horses are happy in the wide and empty streets... all kinds of, bustling and deserted, put together, it will become this lively life Fragrant world.

This is a world that seems to be a whole, but is actually divided into many parallel spaces. Creatures of each class adhere to their own living habits, and are stingy or afraid to set foot in other fields. In the sight of the nobles, there is no hardship and suffering of the poor. The poor looked up, but could not appreciate the comfort and luxury of the nobles...

Resentment, curiosity, anticipation...time passes, it will eventually calm down. Few people will continue to pay attention to a matter that does not involve them, so the battle on the front line, the stalemate in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, etc., finally become small talk after dinner.

Of course, there are also some people in Federation who are closely related to each other. They are quietly promoting some things in places that cannot be seen by the public... Just like this negotiation in Shanxicheng, it is destined to be invisible. , but also real. Especially after the recent clearing of obstacles, the process is even faster.

To be honest, the latter thing has little to do with Tang En's. People have self-knowledge. Tang En is very aware of his abilities. All he can provide is some scattered things in the world. It is undeniable that this is also very important, but it must be transformed into practical actions and finally formed results. Not something he can do.

Especially after the case of Alexis, the traditional aristocrats like Simpson were completely silent, they could not control the secret negotiation, and the negotiation on the surface could not raise any fighting spirit. Pushing and pushing, instead, he frequently attends the invitation gatherings of the nobles in the city. In this way, Tang En's will have no room to play in the talent loss, and it will be more leisurely.

The initial negotiation was mainly about negotiating the conditions on Joah's side. There has been a lot of success. Although some conditions have changed in form, Joah and the others naturally don't mind. They only care about the actual effect. Of course, there are also things that cannot be discussed and can only be put aside for the time being. For these, Luosha also explained in the letter before, so Joah and the others did not force it.

In general, Ronald and the others negotiated many concessions. Although the argument used is to reflect the sincerity of the side, Joah and the others naturally do not believe it, and they are also guessing the intention of the other party... Finally, a week later, the two sides have discussed the bits and pieces on the terms, Ronald finally borrowed They spoke their intentions through Philip's mouth...

The Grey Cloth Armed Force must surrender or disband most of the army on the spot, and three council votes will be given here.

One stone creates a thousand waves! In Joah's secret agency, with the exception of Enoch, the Diffs in the top are all poor people. They may not have a lofty vision, but they are also very clear that the current status of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, including this negotiation, was shot by the soldiers of the Grey Cloth Armed Force. In this way, they naturally objected to this condition, not even think, and even cursed.

Joah is well aware of this, so despite the lure of parliamentary votes, he still refuses, and the negotiations are deadlocked.

Anyone with a bit of judgment knows that this deadlock is basically impossible to be broken, and nothing else, but a trust issue is enough to make both parties fall into an endless loop.

Ronald's side has a justifiable reason on the surface. Since your Grey Cloth Armed Force has achieved its purpose and purpose, why do you need to retain the army? And Grey Cloth Armed Force is very wary of nobles, worried that once the army is handed over, the previous negotiation conditions will not count? Will Titus even kill them in return?

This is the opposition of pure perception and impression, and there is simply no room for reason. Almost as soon as the two sides met, they had to quarrel about it. Of course, in the end, no one could convince the other. It was just a waste of saliva and no progress was made in the negotiation.

......

"Too flattering me... You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me."

"Tang, there is nothing you can do?"

"Tsk, this is simply not a question of means... If what you want to ask is a way to refute the other party, that's easy. I can use some confusing means to get those old nobles at the negotiating table. I was speechless, and even thought that what we said was reasonable. But this is useless for the negotiation result. After the negotiation table, the other party can still deny it when he wakes up..."

At dusk, the liaison point residence In the courtyard behind, there are yellowish leaves all over the ground. Under the leeward side of the wall, Tang En and Joah sat on two stone piers.

Looking at Joah, who looked a little startled, Tang En shook the head and spread his hands: "If all you want to know is your opinion, I can say something... In the final analysis, the important thing in war is to seek Political success, not military success. Chief Losa is a person of great wisdom. She tried her best to facilitate this negotiation, and she understands this truth. From this point of view, Ronald and the others can't talk about it. Wrong... Well, aside from the topic, Philip is even more right, he is just a messenger, you let Diff and the others stop scolding him... What's the matter, oh, Grey Cloth Armed Force can achieve his long-cherished wish in one fell swoop. The purpose, and you can also have three parliamentary votes, participate in the regime, and better benefit the commoner..."

"So...you mean to promise the other party?" Joah pondered for a while, then raised his head Said, "But will they deny the account afterwards..."

"No, you haven't understood what I mean. Well, wait for me to finish..." He waved his hand, and Tang En interrupted Joah's words, "I'm just analyzing the current situation for you, it's a different angle... As you just said, you doubt the credibility of the other party, this is a matter of position, and it is difficult to make fundamental changes. "

He paused and swept the fallen leaves from his body, "If you want peace, or in other words, you must prepare for war. The Grey Cloth Armed Force has been fighting Titus for so many years, and there are also deaths here. Many people, brother, husband, father and son... Of course, the other party is also the same. The resentment is too great, and there is basically no way to quell it. The purpose of the Grey Cloth Armed Force has not changed, but by this time, many things have been out of our control. ... Leader Luosha can facilitate the negotiation, and it has already put personal prestige on it. If the Grey Cloth Armed Force abandons the army, the strength control of leader Luosha will collapse directly. Well, she will not do that either... ”

The voice faded away, and the sunset on the west side struggled to cast the last few rays of brilliance into the courtyard.

For a moment, after digesting this remark, Joah's expression was a little confused: "In your opinion, you can't agree, you can't agree..."

Tang En nominated and sighed: "This is a dilemma, there are only trade-offs... Perhaps, the ambition of the Grey Cloth Armed Force is not big enough. If you persist, you don't need to rely on Titus, but build an empire yourself...hehe, the latter sentence is just me The random imagination is meaningless, the probability of success on that road is almost zero..."

Turning to look at Joah, who was still at a loss, Tang En stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "Don't think about it. Well, in the end, whether there is a solution to this matter or not, it's not up to you and me to decide... Well, just wait, you finish discussing the next conditions in the past few days, and then don't pay attention to that. Ronald and the others must have considered this situation as well, he is more anxious than us, and in the end, it is probably the matter between Chief Losa and that Titus Second Prince."

came back to his senses, Joah nodded lightly: "That's all it takes."

...

...

Well, let's turn our attention to this for a moment The stalemate has shifted, extending all the way to the Northwest...

Thousands of miles away, in small, unknown towns. The struggling sunset finally did its best, completely converged the rays of light, and buried it under the horizon. Darkness came, suddenly,

boom...

In an unremarkable house in a remote street, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, the ground trembled, the air waves rolled, walls, doors and windows, tiles, etc. When it is swept away, it is almost razed to the ground directly.

Bang, the sound of the explosion just stopped, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the rubble and rotten wood, sprayed two blood mist, a little embarrassed, but the figure that landed was extremely agile, but in an instant, it ran across the ground Ruins, into the alleys all around tangled and complicated.

It seems to be very familiar with the terrain here, the figure turns around in the alley, like a fish swimming in the water, very flexible. But even so, he still didn't stop, and still ran for his life.

Although he couldn't see his face, he could feel his fear. He looked back from time to time, as if some prehistoric giant beast was chasing him.

For a moment, the figure crouched silently in the shadow of a wall. It should be said that his Concealment kung fu is still good. Even if someone passes by, he may not be able to find someone hiding here.

A few minutes later, there was no sound around, and suddenly, "hū chī ... hū chī ..." The sound of gasping came from the shadows, mixed with the sound of barely swallowing. It seems that there are still some scruples, and this movement only lasted for more than ten seconds. The black figure stood up against the wall, hooked the head, and turned the corner...

"Uh..." The black figure shuddered suddenly, its legs hanging in the air, like a figure sculpture .

The entrance of the alley is a street, and there is no light nearby, but you can still see a long-haired silhouette standing quietly in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Bang, the previous black shadow kept trembling, leaning against the cold wall and slowly sliding down, without any attempt to escape.

"Not running anymore?" In a calm tone, the long-haired silhouette walked slowly.

"I-me-me, no, no..." Sombra stuttered as if trying to justify something, but finally bowed his head and gave up, wailing, "I can't help it, Captain Remo, I can't help it...

...I don't want to betray you either, but Light God Temple..."

"I'm not interested in these things." Before the long-haired black shadow approached close combat, after interrupting the other party's words, he leaned over and looked directly at Hei. Shadow's eyes, "You know what I want to know, right?"

Shadow subconsciously avoided the other's gaze, nodded shivering.

"Very good."

...

Half a sound, long-haired silhouette bowed her head and walked out of the alley, as if thinking about something, walking a section After the road, he finally stopped outside the coverage of an illuminated water crystal pillar, looked up, his silver hair dazzled, "a middle-aged man with an indifferent face... Mountain Creek City... Bowen Si..."
